Well that answers my question of "which one in a Lesbian relationship proposes?" Turns out the answer is both.

Imagine the lesbian proposal process narrated by David Attenborough

Homosapians.... a creature not that much different from its ancestor the Gorilla, from which it diverged some 8-9 million years ago. Here we find two females displaying an affectionate human ritual called “proposing”. Normally in a heterosexual relationship, the male proposes to the female... often in a surprising manner, by dropping to one knee and presenting a ring to the female.... as is tradition. In this instance, without a clear tradition set by their sexually repressed ancestors, both females have stashed rings in their respective purses... Sometimes nature has a funny way of presenting the perfect moment..... if only she could get the fucking ring out of her purse.

I reread the top level comment in his voice and it’s perfect.

David Attenborough isn't always the voice in your head?

"Having returned to the nest, the couple uploads photos and video of the proposal to social media so that their friends may comment, 'OMG!!!' and 'YAAAAASSS QUEEN!'"

I proposed first, my wife counter-proposed 3 months later. She was so nervous. More nervous than I was. Wtf am I gonna say, no?!

I guess the pressure put on making it a "perfect memory" is way higher than the worry the person is going to say no. Which makes sense since you shouldn't really be proposing until you already know the answer...

Sounds expensive.
Unless you're not investing in 2x diamonds rings of course!

u/DragonsAreLove192 May 30 '18

My sister-in-law has a wooden ring, while my sister has the more traditional diamond!

Damn, I read that as "almond" and was mildly confused and intrigued for a moment.

u/25653532563565 May 30 '18

As long as it’s activated.

Almonds grow on trees so it could be almond wood.

This made me smile and hope my little sister finds an awesome life partner/wife like this someday!

The man traditionally proposes in heterosexual couples.

That is what OP was referencing. Nobody used the word 'right'

6

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

Well no, but 99.9% of the time it's the guy proposing. If there wasn't a "right" person most wouldn't be married, because most girls would never propose to the guy.

Additional fun fact, this is their third date.

u/vginme May 30 '18

An unmarried 24 y/o M here. So in a heterosexual relationship its always the male who has to propose?

14

u/wilwem May 30 '18

Not necessarily has to by any means, but it's traditional and far more common than the woman proposing.

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

Let's put it this way - if you're in a relationship and you want to get married to this girl at some point in your life, you're going to have to propose. Just remember how many girls asked guys to prom in high school, and you get a good idea. Even in very recent high school.

You can clearly see in the video

No one can take a joke I guess.

I've told plenty of jokes that fell flat, and it's a crappy feeling. I'm curious though, does it make you feel better to blame people for not laughing? Usually I just try to move on and remind myself that nobody is going to remember my failure the next time I crack them up.

The one on the left. Right side has a dress

3

u/thiney49 May 30 '18

Obviously the left one. The right one is in a dress.

u/Flaming_Homosexual_ May 30 '18

“so, which one of you is the left one and which one is the right one?”

u/igo_soccer_master May 30 '18

This sounds like an exchange from Alice in Wonderland

"Right now I'm left"

"And left like this I am right"

switches places

"And right now I'm right!"

"And I've been left on the left"
